It is my understanding that Visual Basic 6 allowed you to create a standalone .exe file (compile all files into one .exe) with its package and deployment wizard. Does VB 2010 have an equivalent to this? If so, how do I get to it?

I had developed a small windows software. Now I want create a setup file so that a client can install it on off-line. I used the publishing wizard, it successfully creates the setup file but if I try to install it on other computer which doesn't have the .net Framework, it tries to get it from the net. To avoid this I want to include .net framework into the setup file. How can I do this ?

View 2 RepliesI created a Visual Studio 2005 application that works and installs on other user's computers, but not the way I want.
1. I want to create a single file that I can distribute to any user so when he clicks it, the application will be INSTALLED.
2. When it installs, it chooses to do in its own location. It does not give the user an option to save or install in a specific folder (where the application will be used because other files are there). How do i allow the user to save the the application in a specific folder?
3. I would like a single file that the user clicks to RUN the application. Is that the in*.exe?

Is there anyway to create a standalone executable file in VB.NET so that i have to just give the executable only which will run on any system (which has not Dot Net installed) without any setup. What I want to mean is If I copy the executable file and paste it on other pc, it should work.
View 13 RepliesDoes anyone have experience of rapidly translating an access application into a standalone windows application? My current thoughts are to create an SQL database and a gui in c# and vb, or adobe flex 3.As with acces, the GUI would mainly comprise of controls such as radio buttons, combo box (populated from a table), check boxes, text boxes, text areas and data grids. It will also need the ability to create reports as access does.
View 2 RepliesSo I'm a beginner and I'm guessing this has been asked before, but can anyone tell me how to save multiple inputs from textboxes and radio buttons etc. as one whole umm... thing in a STANDALONE form. I don't want any extra CFG or INI files etc. Kind of like how a new profile in a game would work. I'm a beginner so please try to keep it simple (or if you already know of a thread with the exact same question please link that as a reply instead).
View 2 RepliesVB.NET: Can the .EXE built by VS2005 be deployed as a standalone EXE?When I change the mode in VS2005 to "Release" and build the solution, the binRelease directory then contains the solution .EXE file, but also a .pdb, vshost.exe and .xml file. What are these extra files and are they necessary?
I copied the .exe file to another machine and it executed properly, but there was a significant delay when it first executed - thereafter it was like any other program. What is the reason for this, Is it because the other 3 files in the Release folder are not there with it?

I'm trying to learn Crystal Reports (VS 2005, VB) and per this question I was trying to drive the report with my own data objects instead of through a DB connection.
I found this tutorial and it looked promising as an answer to my question, but after diving in it only seems to apply to web development.
Am I out of luck in trying to power a Crystal Report with .NET objects in a standalone application?
I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?
I'm using this control in a application to load the URL of a .jpg image. The thing is that the image is bigger than the control, so I want it to automatically resize the image, as IE does when the same thing happens there, and it even shows a little magnifier glass to restore the image to full size.How can this be achieved? What happens at default is that the image is bigger than the control, so a quarter of it shows and I have to scroll to see the rest.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

View 2 RepliesI have to generate an XML file from several database tables. I could use the WriteXml method of the DataSet to do it, but the database tables are really huge and I can't add all those tables in the DataSet at the same time or it may cause a problem because of the big amount of memory used. Then I decided to use the DataTable's WriteXml method and save table after table, but the the generated file only stores the information of the last DataTable.WriteXml's call. How can I preserve the previous XML data when adding all that information?
